Tigresses: And Other Man-Eaters proves the vignette doesn't have to be bad format for a movie. Here, it's a little short of sensational.

In fact, the most teasing and erotic parts of the entire film occur when the camera cuts to Samantha Fox, the narrator, who sucks better than she ever has before. She introduces the film and its scenes while kneeling down over a huge manhood. Samantha is the sexiest thing on the purple screen in Tigresses. It's worth the price of admission for her alone.

But, there's much more. Aside from several superheated sex scenes, Tigresses makes an erotic breakthrough, not by adding anything new, but by omitting something old and very tired. In this film, there is virtually no bump-and-grind music. Sometimes, the oohs and aahs are noticeably dubbed, but for the most part, the soundtrack seems

to be taken from actual recordings during the scene.

Another first in Tigresses, at least for the straight sex cinema, is that it features sex with a transsexual. Jill Munro and her husband, Jack, play a couple who meet by New York's riverside and almost immediately return to Jill's apartment for cream cheese and lox. Seeing Jill Munro screw was a novelty for us. It's also one of those moments during which people who know Jill's secret will grit their teeth.

We thought that no act could follow Brooke and Taylor Young. You remember them - the twins who made it with each other and just about anyone else in the films Teenage Twins and Double Your Pleasure. Tigresses features yet another sibling pair who are in no way similar to Brooke and Taylor, with the exception of their lack of talent. They are Diana and Denise Sloan, who here play sister - lovers on the outs. Just as the twins are reconciling their differences by eating each other's cunts, one of their boyfriends shows up and enjoys the combination so much that he invites both of them to stay over for eternity. The sisters have nice bodies, but little else to qualify them as hot material. Still, there's something about lesbian incest which will draw crowds.
